These letter tracing printables have been available for some time now but I have been asked to bundle them up for easy access and I finally finished! The new Let’s Trace Letters bundle is available in my Teacher’s Notebook Shop for $1.25! It includes a full page of prep {focusing on strokes}, and a full page to practice each letter. I use the green dot {GO}, red star {STOP} method which worked well with Krash.

If you can’t afford or aren’t interested in purchasing the bundle above, you can get all of these printables for FREE!!!! Here’s how! Go to the main RRSP page and scroll down until you see this…

Click on the letter you want and it will bring you to the resource page for that letter. Scroll down until you see the cover verse page and click on that image to download the entire unit, in it you will find the letter prep and tracing for that letter! It takes a bit more time but it’s free!

The only item that you can’t get for free are the flashcards. These are from the RRSP Bundle, and were added to the Let’s Trace Letters bundle as a special bonus!

Krash has become a tad bit bitter about his Workboxes, so I decided to switch things up for him. We have switched to a notebook type system and so far he loves it! He has 3 notebooks, the 3 notebooks are:

Current Theme {Angry Birds right now}

You Can Read/RRSK {there is a divider in the middle, but I decided to share these 2 programs}

Here he was working during his independent time, coloring his sight words. I gave him choices as he browsed through his 2 notebooks filled with his weekly work. I directed him to things that could be done independently and had him choose.

This is his new Morning Message notebook. I write him a daily message and we read it together and use it to focus on different skills. Here he was using a highlighter to find all of the words he could read on his own!

It is a simple lined page I created in Publisher. I added images to pages featuring many of his favorite characters!

We saw a new word play game and Krash chose it from the sheet I printed in his notebook. First Pac quizzed him on his sight words, we make stacks of words he reads quickly and words he doesn’t know as well.

I wrote all of the trouble words on little sticky notes and attached them to plastic cups. He set up the Angry Birds all around the area.

First, he launched the Angry Birds into the cups, but this was hard.

I convinced him to switch to ping pong ball rolling.

He had to read the word on the cup when the ball landed in it. If he was correct he kept it. He also had to re-read all of the words he had already collected!

We began reviewing All About Reading Level 1 awhile ago, and Krash continues to make consistent progress. You can read more about why we are choosing to review this homeschool reading program here in our “Current Curriculum” post {see FAQ}.

We are still moving along in AAR, here he was working with me, and the cat. On the bottom right you can see how I help focus him while he reads from his fluency practice paper.

We are starting back up with fun themes, Krash chose Angry Birds first! We began by gathering every Angry Bird item we had. Thankfully they got tons for Christmas from the grandparents so we had a wonderful assortment to play with! We made an Angry Birds Sensory/Imagination Bin, which included all of our toys…

Krash had fun exploring, one day I saw him line up the pigs by size…

He and Ladybug played with the Knock on Wood game pieces a lot…

Of course this had to happen…

He loved his Angry Birds notebook, which was filled with all of his Angry Birds Kindergarten Printables. He chose what he wanted to do each day. The very first day, he colored a coloring page I found online and sipped it into the cover.

Dot painting fractions…

We used the Angry Birds we created with our number line. The bigger ones would cover up groups of 2-3 numbers and he loved the challenge!

Krash was my Instagram star of the week! As I looked back through our photos I noticed that there were tons of my little guy! A few of these moments were not captured with the good camera for the blog, so I thought I would share them too since most of you aren’t on Instagram with me!

I had NO idea how popular Jake was until I posted the “coming soon” update on my Facebook page! Apparently my son isn’t the only one who enjoys Jake and the Never Land Pirates! These were released over on my Facebook page last week, so be sure to “like” 1+1+1=1 so you don’t have to wait for the blog post!

I hope many of you will be able to enjoy the following activities with your kids!

Using a number line…

Greater than and less than, using the alligator mouth as a visual aid.

Identifying coins…

Counting by 5’s…

Basic Fractions…

Sorting…

Matching descriptive sentences…

Easy reader…

Rhyming Words…

Sight Words, fill in the blank, use tracer for younger kids, fill in the blank for older!

Labeling characters…

Write a sentence…

3-part cards, use for matching words to images or play a memory game with them!

I have been working on these for awhile now and finally found time to finish the Lego Kindergarten Printables up! I decided to use the Lego mini characters for most of it. I will be incorporating some of my other Lego finds for a “Lego Week” in the future!

I hope many of you will be able to enjoy the following activities with your kids!

Using a number line…

Greater than and less than, using the alligator mouth as a visual aid.

Identifying coins…

Odd and Even, or simply numbers 1-30. The directions say to use 2 colors of Dot Paint to make a pattern to emphasize odd and even numbers. You can also just use this as a counting 1-30 mat, be creative!

Basic Fractions, be sure to use real Legos for this {as a hands-on extension} if you can!!

Sorting…

Matching descriptive sentences…

Easy reader…

Rhyming Words…

Sight Words, fill in the blank, use tracer for younger kids, fill in the blank for older!

Labeling characters…

Write a sentence…

Lego ABC mat, use this however you want! I loved the concept and wanted to include it to allow you to be creative!

You can downloadall of the printables for this unit FREE here on the main RRSK page, just scroll down until you see them! We have backed off from doing all 10 of the provided activities in the RRSK units. As he progresses, some items aren’t necessary anymore and either we skip them or go through them quickly. My main goal in using the RRSK lessons is the Bible work and simple review of other K skills.

He always traces his verse on Day 1…

Putting his verse together on day 2…

The listen and color sheet was challenging for him this week, as it included the words “thick” and “thin” which he tends to get confused!

He wasn’t fond of all of the gluing involved for the math activity, but he did it. I wanted to be certain he could order 1-30 without help, he can!

The letter J verse tune is Are You Sleeping, here Krash sings it for you!

If you want early access to printables beyond what I have blogged about, you can see info about purchasing here! Currently I have units Aa-Pp available in the early access section.

We used unit 16 from You Can Read. Here’s a glimpse into some of the You Can Read work he did. Instead of the normal word building, I printed out the word puzzles and let him use them for word building.

Making shapes by connecting words…

He turned the tracing page into a race, pretending he was Lightning McQueen…

He also had a race while circling his words…

Finding words in sentences, one of his favorites!

One day, we read through his word stack and had a gymnastics practice word play time. We set up all of the words he didn’t read quickly by sight and he had to run to the back of the schoolroom. I called out a word and a gymnastics move he had to do before running to find the correct word.

iPad learning fun. Here Krash was across the room working on The ABC’s of God, which he LOVES-I mean almost to an obsessed point! He has worked through the first levels and is now completing the word searches which are challenging for him. He couldn’t find the word LIGHT and was asking me for help…

Here we were doing the Rhyming Words PowerPoint show. I imported it into Keynote so we could use it on the iPad. Not all shows work perfectly but some do! On the right Pac just happened to catch K giving me 5 after completing the show!
